Description

Malt (Hordeum vulgare), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Dà Mài Yá (大麦芽), is the dried sprouted grain of barley, a classic food-herb (药食同源) ingredient prized for centuries as a gentle, digestive-supporting herb. Its nature is sweet and neutral, making it a mild yet effective herb traditionally used to harmonize the Stomach, move stagnant food, and support the smooth flow of qi. This naturally sun-dried, sulfur-free malt is offered as a 500g pack of焦麦芽 (Jiāo Mài Yá, toasted malt).
